For woodworkers, the most common router bits used include straight router bits, spiral bits, roundover bits, cove bits, and rabbeting bits. These router bits are workshop staples and offer versatile functionality for every project. While most router bits perform specific tasks, a few can be used for a wide variety of functions, making them well worth the price.

At Rockler, each router bit is made of high-quality carbide and sharpened with diamond abrasives. For high-quality router bits, shop Rockler’s line of tools and accessories for guaranteed performance and satisfaction.
